Is this the end of chromebooks?

  Chromebook’s are like $200

    ... with build quality to match. Apple outclasses everyone else when it comes to the build quality of their laptops.

      I am quite happy with my Thinkpads, and their replaceable components.

      Main customers for Chromebooks do not care avout build quality. People, I get it, you love Apple, but get in touch with reality.

    The problem with a $200 laptop is that you get a laptop that's worth $200.

      But a lot of Chromebooks are bought by school districts so the end user doesn't have a choice

      To some people that isn’t a problem.

  Not only can you buy two and a half Chromebooks with this, they never had much uptake outside a few countries school system.

  IMO the biggest sell for Chromebooks in the education market (which is where they shine) is the software. It's a locked down OS with a cloud login that means when you encounter the slightest hardware issue you can swap out for another device seamlessly. macOS doesn't have anything comparable to that.
